simple tb testing question

<p>Do we have to get our TB test done before we arrive to campus? or do we get it done at campus?</p>

<p>get it done before</p>

<p>You have until the end of fall quarter, but the sooner the better.</p>

<p>I want to stress that you do NOT have until the end of fall quarter. in fact you have until the start of fall quarter - your tb test must be completed by September 20, 2010. (assuming you get the TB skin test) when you go in to read your results, have your doctor fill out the TB screening form:
<a href=“http://studenthealth.ucsd.edu/pdfdocs/tbscreeningform.pdf[/url]”>http://studenthealth.ucsd.edu/pdfdocs/tbscreeningform.pdf&lt;/a&gt; and have them mail/fax that to Student Health Services.</p>

<p>your test must be completed between September of last year and this year. this form needs to be in by September 20. log into SHS to check for yourself. go to Forms > TB Questionnaire and it will say that you need it done before school starts:</p>

<p>the only reason you can get it on-campus is if you arrive earlier than the 20th (but then the medical offices will be full of people getting tb tests, so you’ll end up waiting a long time). unless you have SHIP, it sounds like it’s also more expensive to do it on campus.</p>

<p>Really? Well when I turned mine in last month, I asked what the deadline was and two different women at the desk said " Well technically you have until the end of fall quarter, but don’t tell anyone!"</p>
